Planning go-ahead for €110m private hospital in Cork

A €110 MILLION state-of-the-art private hospital, expected to create 400 jobs in Cork’s western suburbs, was granted planning permission yesterday.

The development, off the Bandon Road in Bishopstown, will offer 100 beds and be constructed by Sheehan Medical, the group that built the Galway Clinic, Blackrock Clinic and Hermitage Clinic, valued in excess of €100m each.

Sheehan Medical said it would be “one of a set of hospitals throughout Europe designed for the 21st century”.
